A new step in analog digital continuum. Moleskine notebooks are the heirs of the pocket size black notebooks used by avant garde creators of the past two centuries who sought portable and convenient tools for writing, sketching and painting from life in the streets and in the cafés and in other extemporary situations. Proud of this heritage, Moleskine likes playing with the analog digital continuum. The long debated issue about digital tools possibly overcoming analog ones is far away from being resolved. Everyone has their own answers, often shared with others over the internet. Many Moleskine users feel completely comfortable using both analog and digital devises, if not merging them together in new hybrids. New experiments in this direction are to be announced in the near future.

Available in October 2010 in online stores worldwide and selected bookshops worldwide.
